We watched Hamas torture our little brothers rescue them from Gaza now
On Saturday we once again witnessed the joyous yet painful return of hostages in Gaza to their families in Israel.We knew our brothers, held by Hamas since Oct.7, would not be released as part of the current phase of the deal, but we shared those six families’ elation alongside our own anguish.So imagine our horror later that day as a new Hamas propaganda video appeared on our phones.In it, we saw our baby brothers, Guy and Evyatar, seated in a van, cruelly told by their captors that they were about to be freed as well.It was the first time in months they had seen sunlight.They were then forced to witness their fellow hostages being released — only to have the door slammed shut in their faces.
